my zele cbe has no resonator..front pipe suggestions? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys. i just installed my Zele Catback this week and it is droney. it does not have any resonators so that would probably explain it. So i am wondering what front pipe i should get to maybe get rid of the drone if possible. I am actually looking at HKS which looked like its dual resonated. I am scared to consider nameless since I have read fitment issues about them. Any suggestions?

JDL auto design

yes JDL has a front pipe that has both a high flow cat and a resonator. I am not sure if there are any similar alternatives... but I would like to know if there is too

I am thinking of getting their UEL Catted Header. I wish they would give me a good deal cause they are on the pricey side. haha

Yes they are. Great quality stuff though. I would skip the optional coatings. Mine flakes right off if it gets hit. (Maybe thats normal though, I dont know.)

yea i was not planning on getting them coated but thanks for the heads up

also check to see if they are moving product again. They had issues with their former bender I believe and it halted a lot of their shipments. Not sure if that is resolved...

JDL offers Lifetime Warranty so take that into consideration, which justifies their price, in my opinion. :P

Life time warranty only for the original buyer though

I have the same exhaust and the drone really kills me therefore i was planning to either sell it or add a resonator to the mid pipe. It would be great if the jdl front pipe helps with the drone and if that's the case i am gonna get one as well.

I have no idea whether if the jdl front pipe is gonna help reduce the drone or not since i have stock front pipe which i think it should do a very good job on controlling volume and drone. I also didn't know this cbe would be this loud and i i knew about it i would get something else instead. I really hope that's going to help since i am trying not to cut off the mid pipe and install a resonator if i had a choice. Please let me know if you decide to get the jdl front pipe and share your experience.

I didnt know it was gonna be droney. I guess you could also try just replacing the mid pipe. I contacted a few vendors and ill see what they say.
